The Battle of Horseshoe Bend near Dadeville, Alabama, was an overwhelming victory for the American forces led by General Andrew Jackson over the Red Stick Creek Indians and their chief, Menewa. Jackson attacked on the morning of March 27, 1814.

Jackson had an overwhelming numerical advantage of 3300 men, compared to 1000 Red Stick warriors. Jackson's force included his own West Tennessee Militia (which included 700 cavalry), the 39th U. S. Infantry regiment and 600 Cherokee and Choctaw and lower Creek...

The Battle of Horseshoe Bend near Dadeville, Alabama, was an overwhelming victory for the American forces led by General Andrew Jackson over the Red Stick Creek Indians and their chief, Menewa. Jackson attacked on the morning of March 27, 1814.

Jackson had an overwhelming numerical advantage of 3300 men, compared to 1000 Red Stick warriors. Jackson's force included his own West Tennessee Militia (which included 700 cavalry), the 39th U. S. Infantry regiment and 600 Cherokee and Choctaw and lower Creek Indians.

The Creeks lost about 550 men on the field, but Jackson's troops killed about 300 more as they tried to cross the Tallapoosa River. Less than 200 of the 1000 Indians escaped, including Chief Menewa. They eventually joined the Seminole Indians in Florida.

Combined American and Native American losses were 47 killed and 159 wounded.

Future Texas Governor Sam Houston was one of the first Americans to clear the Creek breastworks, receiving an arrow wound in the leg.

Although several hundred Creek Indians fought with Jackson against the Red Sticks, Jackson nevertheless forced the Creeks to sign the Treaty of Fort Jackson in August, 1814, in which they gave up 23 million acres of land.

Much of defining "interesting" will have to be contingent on individual choice. What you might find interesting will differ from another person's viewpoint. This would mean that it is essential for you to gauge your own level of interest from research. One thing that I found interesting was the battle leaders on each side. Andrew Jackson led the Americans against the Native American Creek tribe, who were inspired by Tecumseh. Jackson, essentially, wanted to clear out the Native Americans living in what could now be seen as Alabama and thus, engaged in conflict. I found it interesting that Jackson had actually had some Creek Native Americans on his side, as well. The statistics were overwhelming in favor of Jackson's side, with a nearly 17:1 Native American to American kill ratio.

The Battle of Horseshoe Bend happened in 1814. In it the Creek tribe was defeated by a joint American and Indian (enemies of the Creeks) force led by Andrew Jackson, who was then a militia general and would later become president of the United States.

The Creeks who opposed Jackson were known as the Red Sticks. On their side, about 800 out of 1000 fighters died in the battle. On Jackson's side, 49 were killed out of almost 3000, and 154 were wounded, many of whom died later.

The battle forced the Creeks to give up huge chunks of land to the US.
